Crop Circle Found Near EFFIGY MOUNDS ,
Horicon Marsh, Dodge County Wisconsin

Nitschke Mounds

Back to Wisconsin Crop Circle

Burlington UFO and Paranormal Research


The so-called turtle and panther mounds are long-tailed forms that comprise the second largest class of effigy mounds.  The long-tailed mounds were representative of water
spirits usually found in areas with large lakes, swamps and marshes and typically were located near springs.  These springs flow from the earth and have been revered by
ancient people as a source of life-giving water, symbolic of rebirth and renewal.  Springs also represented entrances to the water underworld for the powerful water spirits.

The Nitschke Mounds are located less than 2 miles from the Horicon Marsh and the site has 2 continuously flowing springs.

The largest mound in the group is a Turtle Effigy that measures 200' in length by 57' in width and 4' in height.

Below are the various effigy mounds found near the site

Buffalo Effigies

Buffalo effigies, also found around the Horicon Marsh, are rocks naturally shaped like a buffalo. Some of the rocks have been changed only slightly by Native Americans and
may date back to over 5,000 years ago.

Prehistoric shrines with bison effigies are found on hilltops because the people believed that high ground was a reflection of heaven. Located on high points, all key sites are
mutually visible. The effigies all face a cardinal direction or are aligned with a solstice sunrise or sunset.

Native Americans marked the sun's movement because they believed the sun represented the physical presence of God in the sky. Fires represented the presence of God on
earth. Their circle of worship includes naturally occurring, interrelated cycles: prairie, fire, the sun, and buffalos. Buffalo effigies also helped orient people to other geographic
destinations, possibly all the way to the Black Hills of South Dakota.

A "herd" of these bison are scattered throughout Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties. Like the mounds, they are still visited by Native Americans today.

Rock Effigy found in Michigan

Mary Sutherland

Effigies were found on this piece of property we researched in Michigan . Many times these effigies
are rocks "naturally" shaped prehistoric shrines found on hilltops because the people believed that
high ground was a reflection of heaven. Located on high points, all key sites are mutually visible.
The effigies all face a cardinal direction or are aligned with a solstice sunrise or sunset or are
pointing to something of importance. .Native Americans marked the sun's movement because they
believed the sun represented the physical presence of God in the sky. A fire circle made of rocks
were found near by. Fires represented the presence of God on earth. Their circle of worship
includes naturally occurring, interrelated cycles. In this picture you see to the right and behind the
tree the face of a man. I suspect that the nose is pointing to something else of importance. It was
located on the high part of the hill at the end of a ridge with a steep drop off or incline on the
opposite side of the effigy. At the bottom of the hill water can be found.

Side profile of a man carved on boulder. This sits at the top of a very high hill. Also at the end of the
ridge and off to the side is a stone circle I believe was used for fire ceremonies. Also a very nice
portal opens to another dimension there, marked by several trees.I also found an ancient symbol
marked on this stone

Eye witness accounts and depictions of sea serpents have come down to us from throughout history. In some
of these cases, the creature could well have had a large portion of its body underwater (really a plesiosaur form
rather than a serpent form). The very first recorded sea serpent observation was made by Sargon II on a
Mediterranean voyage to Cyprus at about 720 BC – 705 BC. This cryptid sighting seems to be memorialized by
a very interesting frieze made during the Assyrian domination of Phoenicia (late 8th century BC). It shows
Phoenician longboats loading up lumber. Notice the sea serpent with its neck upright in the background up top.
Its large size can be judged by the sea turtle depicted just in front of it.
WARNING: DOGMAN LIVE AND HUNT HERE!

These are effigies found in Wisconsin . I believe
they have been misidentified as Man-Mounds but if
you look at the heads of these, they do not look like
men with a headdress of horns...

Being that there has been so many reports , dating
from days of antiquity to modern times, of a
man-beast, I believe these effigies are mounds
warning people that in these particular areas, the
traveler should take warning that what is popular
known as the "Dogmen" hunt and live there.
Outside of Burlington, in Voree, we found this effigy rock of
a head with nose pointing towards the tree area that the
brass plates  and a giant had been buried. Mormon
Prophet Strang had a vision to dig in this spot and he
would recover the giant and burial plates. The burial
plates contained the information of the ancient people that
had lived and died there.
